I don’t get this. Here in Arizona, we have these dopey fat sticks of butter that don’t fit in the butter keepers. I read the treason for that had to do with when the west tooled up butter production. Are they actually making normal sticks of butter and shipping them east, leaving us deprived?
That's the first thing that came to mind. Best movie song evah.
Is America great or what? Delivering beer, not butter. Not that there's anything wrong with butter, but..
They don’t make butter in PA?
“If there has to be a driver on board, then adopting self-driving trucks is kind of pointless, isn’t it?”
Yes, I think so too. However, I don’t see a problem with using technology to help the driver be safer (e.g. intervene when the driver falls asleep, or doesn’t recognize an impending disaster).
Eventually, none of us will be allow to drive anywhere we choose. They are really pushing this hard. I guess eventually, the camps will be the destination for many.
I only see a couple thousand cows in Lancaster and west of Harrisburg...
Made with pure Fukashima water, so it glows.
I am going to be really upset if one of these so-called “autonomous” semi’s crashes into me and my Triumph motorcycle. I am seriously going to sue them.
Did these geniuses ever hear of a railroad train? Also, who put the gas in this modern wonder? There’s no cure for stupid.
I don’t know about that.
may be a new market for the new AI sex robots
Why truck butter to Pennsylvania?
The dutch Amish falling behind?
Why not ship it on a train?
Why why why?
Oh “electric”.
New mousetraps aren’t always BETTER mousetraps.
Who fuels them up and bops the tires?
Land O Lakes is the only brand of butter we use. The box says the company is located in Arden Hills, Minnesota. Where the hell does California come in?
They are already pushing for NEW highways with dedicated lanes for their unmanned trucks.
Again, that’s what a flatbed train is.
Get ready to bend over and pay for big corporate to put people out of work in the name of “Savings”.
No trickle down or up about it.
“But can it drive from Atlanta to Texarkana, pick up 400 cases of Coors beer, and transport it back to Atlanta in 28 hours or less?”
Why would anyone want to transport Coors beer anywhere?
It may be contaminated with fecal matter if it originates in San Francisco.
Who fills the gas tank if there isn’t a safety driver on board? And if it has to take breaks, and there is a safety driver on board, what is the sense of having a self-driving truck to begin with?
The truck was delayed at a truck stop after it was solicited by a fembot.
I remember the days of elevator operators.
The HQ is in Minnesota. It doesn’t mean a single stick of butter comes from there...
